Edin Dzeko: On the Bench Against Stoke

Dzeko is available off the bench for Manchester City's Premier League match against Stoke City on Saturday.

Analysis:

Dzeko picked up a small knock on his thigh last Monday against Liverpool, and with a fully fit Sergio Aguero, manager Manuel Pellegrini can afford to rest Dzeko. With Aguero just returning to the starting lineup, it wouldn't be surprised if Dzeko did feature at some point Saturday.
